FILRŌ was born from the desire to create a widespread network to engage and connect young singers, directors, set designers, musicians, and artists who gravitate around the world of opera with organizations interested in promoting culture, creating new formats capable of conveying the values ​​of this art form to the general public.

At the same time, it wants to offer institutions and places that promote culture the opportunity to tell their spaces, history and heritage through a new language. The company includes collaborations with important Italian and foreign cultural institutions and has a series of active projects including “Così Fan Lirica”, which brings operas in scenic form to new public and private contexts and “Liricando” which wants to spread opera in schools through workshops and reduced performances to bring young students closer to opera.
